West Indies slave trade decimates southeastern tribes

Carolina traders operating out of Charles Town export an estimated 30,000 to 51,000 Native American captives between 1670 and 1715 in a well-established slave trade with the Caribbean, Spanish Hispaniola, and northern colonies. “Between 1670 and 1715, more Indians were exported into slavery through Charles Town than Africans were imported” (Gallay, 2002).
